It cost me $2,200 CAD. Which was awesome, I thought it was gonna cost $2,500. ^_^

School

I started a new semester at school and I took Math 11, English 11, Physics 11, and a spare. I'm in the same teachers class for everything but English. My Tenant is a Student Teacher and she is teaching me English.

Gamemaker

In Gamemaker I Have been Slacking, (No way) But I have been trying to learn some new functions. I have made a Ball Bounce in a room, which works ok I just need to tweak it a lil, and I made something strafe around an object.

The only problem now is my friend got me Norton 360 and it says my Version of Gm7 is a Virus. I'm not quite sure how to get around that yet.

Christmas

For Christmas I got a new room and a car.

The room is now brown, I have a new bed, and a new dresser. The room used to be Blue before. The car is a 1988 New Yorker.

Other

- I got my L on Feb 1st.

- I made some friends lately

Thats about it.

I was thinking that PC was awesome.

The I saw you have Ultimate on.

But really, that's a cool PC. If I give you my address, will you post it to me?

EDIT@NORTON: Add the GM exe to your exceptions bit.

I'm going to assume you can do that, based on the detail of your PC specs.

Vista is ultimate fail, your better off getting XP X64, at least considering your RAM.

@Bryan

Probably stole it from 64D. But you can make a computer this good for probably a max of $1000 AUD, but thats if you build it yourself, ^_^

WarRock is fail.

I can't even play Roller Coaster Tycoon without it turning off after 2 minutes. :'(

@Evily, I have 2GB of RAM, and Visty home premium runs like a dream.

XP's desktop environment is weak by any comparison. Of course, check 'disable desktop composition' in the compatibility tab of any game, that'll wipe off aero, giving you precious VideoRAM back.

Your monitor is similar to mine, I've got a 206bw :D
